Hannah worriedly shook Liam's arm when she saw his expression darken. "Liam, maybe Ms. Jenson was really injured and couldn't walk; that was why she needed someone to carry her. Don't get angry. This is a special case. "You have a lot of women by your side, but not all of them treat you genuinely. Perhaps Ms. Jenson is different. You need to listen to her explanation. It's true that she didn't push me earlier. I fell down simply because I lost my balance!" she continued anxiously, trying to put in a good word for Amelia. However, Brandon couldn't stand it anymore. "Hannie, it was only the two of you at the time. How could you have fallen for no reason? Moreover, she did touch you earlier. Didn't she apologize just now? That meant she admitted her guilt! I know you're kind, but stop thinking for others all the time. She's jealous of you! She wants to harm you!" he said. Hannah shook her head. "No, Brandon. It was because I missed Liam too much and kept wanting to rely on him.
It was late at night, so there was barely anyone in the hospital. Even the corridor was quiet. After treating her foot, Amelia sat on the chair while waiting for Eric. He had gone to pick up the medicine for her. All of a sudden, a pair of handmade leather shoes appeared in front of her. Amelia looked up and saw Liam's expressionless face. She was stunned for a moment. Then, she lowered her head without saying anything. When Liam was on the way to the hospital earlier, he kept thinking about Amelia being carried away by that man. He wanted to ask her how her leg was. However, seeing that she didn't want to talk to him, he couldn't help but fly into a rage. He pulled her up from the chair at once. "You look pretty good. What's the point of coming to the hospital?" His actions were so sudden that Amelia staggered and fell into his arms. It caused her injured foot to ache again. "Let go!" she shouted. "Let you go so that you can throw yourself into another man'
Just as Amelia was about to leave with Eric, Liam said, "Amelia, do you think I came here for nothing?"The first time Liam saw Eric was when Eric had sent Amelia home. Liam didn't think too much about Eric at the time. He only felt angry over the fact that Amelia had kept him waiting at home. He was also angry because she had returned late under the escort of another man. The second time he saw Eric was when Eric carried Amelia into the car earlier. Again, Liam wasn't overly bothered by him. He was only annoyed that Amelia didn't care about him and even let him see her get close to another man. Hannah was wrong. Amelia had known Eric long ago. When Eric carried Amelia, neither of them showed any hints of awkwardness. At the sight of that, what first came to Liam's mind wasn't the purity of Amelia's and Eric's relationship, but their tacit understanding of each other. Perhaps they were so natural with each other because they had been spending time together for quite a whi
When they returned to Riverbay Residence, Liam's face was still purple with rage. He shoved Amelia onto the couch. "Aren't you bold? You actually let that man talk to me like that!" What Eric had said earlier was clearly provoking him! Amelia rubbed her sore wrist and explained in a low voice, "Mr. Richards was just worried about me. You're the one who dragged me along without considering my injury in the first place. Even if it had been someone else today, they would still have found it hard to watch." Seeing Amelia standing up for Eric made Liam angrier. He bent down and pinched Amelia's chin. "Well, you don't have particularly good looks either. Why are there so many men who treat you so well?" Amelia was displeased with the irony in Liam's voice. "It was just genuine concern between friends. Why do you interpret it so crudely? Not everyone's like you, Liam. Lily had gone as far as sitting on your lap and flirting with you, yet you claimed that you were only friend
May's interruption eased the atmosphere which was tinged with slight tension earlier. "May has misunderstood. I ... I'll explain to her tomorrow," Amelia said. "Explain what?" Liam asked. "That we didn't ..." "What?" Liam pressed. He couldn't help but tease Amelia when he saw how shy she was being. "That we didn't ..." Amelia hesitated. "We didn't do anything intimate?" Liam could easily say the words that she struggled to express. Amelia nodded in a hurry. "I'll make things clear to her." "She's just a servant. Why do you have to explain to her?" Liam frowned. He wondered if Amelia had forgotten about her identity again. "Huh?" Amelia looked at him in confusion. Liam then pulled her up the stairs and into the master bedroom. By the time Amelia came to her senses, he was already on top of her. "You don't have to explain anything to her. Besides, I think May's right. No matter what, you're already my wife. I should probably be intimate with you lest you
Liam had always treated Hannah like a princess. And Hannah should be the center of attention. So he broke up with Lily. After that, everyone's eyes were back on Hannah again. Liam felt content upon seeing how happy Hannah was. Hannah must have gotten a little upset that he brought Amelia with him to the banquet tonight. But nevertheless, she had matured over the years and had become more sensible. Just like in the past, she still clung to his arm and happily chatted with him. When Liam saw Hannah injured, he felt a pang in his heart and instinctively stood up for her. However, why did it have to be Amelia, of all people? If it had been any of his other female companions, he would have driven them out without any hesitation. He thought that maybe it was because Amelia was his wife that he treated her a little differently. Although Hannah was somewhat wilful, she was still a kind-hearted person. She had even told him that Amelia seemed to be injured as well. As
Liam turned to Amelia and said calmly, "But it was true that she miscarried after bumping into you when she left Riverbay Residence. Amelia, you thought you suffered a huge grievance because of Ava, but you didn't know that the Prescott Group's stocks kept dropping after she miscarried." Amelia looked at Liam in shock. She was indeed unaware of that. "Ava isn't just a mere celebrity. The fact that she got involved with me has connected her to the Prescott Group to a certain extent. Everyone believed that it was you who caused her miscarriage. Many of them assumed that I had shielded you, since no punishment was imposed despite the heated online discussions. "Even the shareholders criticized me for lacking humanity during the shareholders' meeting. That was why the company's stocks plummeted." Liam's expression was grave. It was the first time he told her about this. "I ... I didn't know. But I really didn't ..." "Don't you get it yet? Whether or not you harmed Ava isn
"Sorry, Oscar. I ... I don't really have a good relationship with Liam. I know you care about me, but I was afraid that you'd get into a conflict with him, so ..." Amelia explained."Why are you so silly? You should have told me about it!" Oscar suddenly raised his voice. Given the fact that Liam had so many women around him, Oscar could tell how much Amelia had suffered from being with him. "I ..." Amelia hesitated. "Just divorce him!" Oscar said. "What?" Amelia was surprised. She didn't expect that Oscar would tell her to do that too. "What's the point of being with such a man?" he asked. "Oscar, I ...""Amelia must have her reasons for not wanting a divorce. So stop forcing her, Oscar." Eric had also come over to her desk. Fortunately, every artist in the company had their own room to rest in. As Oscar's assistant, Amelia's workspace was right next to his room. Amelia couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed as the two men talked about her marriage in
